Hi Guys,
As you know, I'm already divorced....I'm posting for a friend who's been married for 24 years. She and her husband have had ups and downs in their marriage, but have been loyal to one another. About 4 years ago, the company they had started really took off, and today they own 6 companies, and are really in the money! My friend's DH unexpectedly moved out and asked her for a divorce last week. He has called her every day, and has been open to listening to and talking with their mutual friends about what's going on. He says there is no OW, and just says that she is no longer the wife for him. Yesterday, he called her to ask if she will meet with him Monday to talk about the traits they both want in a mate. I pray this means there is hope for them. What things should my friend read to prepare herself for this talk?
Thanks so much! I will get her to read these posts.
God bless you all for caring.
KK

Can you print out the Emotional Needs Questionnaire from this site, 2 copies for her and her husband?
What about telling her (and him) about Marriage Builders, so they can read and learn here?

How about reading everything that is here on MB. They have grown apart as the y worked so hard on building their businesses they probably didn't have time to build their marriage, it's the one thing that we all always take for granted that it will be there later.
